The England national football team have represented England in international football since the first international match in 1872. It is controlled by The Football Association (FA), the governing body for football in England, which is affiliated with UEFA and comes under the global jurisdiction of world football's governing body FIFA. England competes in the three major international tournament contested by European nations: the FIFA World Cup, the UEFA European Championship and the UEFA Nations League.
England is the joint oldest national team in football having played in the world's first international football match in 1872, against Scotland. England's home ground is Wembley Stadium, London, and its training headquarters is at St George's Park, Burton upon Trent. Gareth Southgate is the current manager of the team.
England won the 1966 World Cup final on home soil, making it one of eight nations to have won the World Cup. They have qualified for the World Cup sixteen times, with their next best performance fourth-place finishes in the 1990 and 2018 editions. England has never won the European Championship, with their best performance to date being runners-up in 2020. As a constituent country of the United Kingdom, England is not a member of the International Olympic Committee and so does not compete at the Olympic Games. England is currently the only team to have won the World Cup at senior level, but not their major continental title, and the only non-sovereign entity to have won the World Cup.<\/P>","B53FD9094B6C7706A3358457A9AFAFFFED8DF2C618386067":"1","71917274BAF6F295":"","891E8ED23A68FBCE79DAB5425E7817DA":"2025-1-1","AEA806C1427039FE44581DB525FB9B7BD0F0E6F183CA457B":"1863-10-26","2C2DB8E0A27DDF86":"

Born in Krumbach, Tuchel's playing career ended at age 25, as a result of a chronic knee cartilage injury, and in 2000, he began his coaching career, working for the youth teams at VfB Stuttgart for five years. In 2009, following a successful one-year period at FC Augsburg II, he was hired by newly promoted Bundesliga club Mainz 05.
Tuchel guided Mainz to league stability during his five seasons at the club, and gained plaudits for his brand of energetic, attacking football. He also cultivated a reputation for having a focus on promoting youth players. He departed Mainz in 2014 as a result of financial disputes, and in 2015, was appointed at fellow Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund, where he won the DFB-Pokal before being fired in 2017.
He was then appointed at French club Paris Saint-Germain in 2018, where he won the league in each of his first two seasons, including a domestic quadruple in the second, and guided the club to its first ever Champions League Final.
On 26 January 2021, Tuchel signed an 18-month contract (with the option for an extra year) with English Premier League side Chelsea, replacing Frank Lampard. He is the first German to be appointed as head coach of the club.<\/P>","A529E53C559174F81441CD95517400BB":"1973-8-29","FAEF47752E34E7B4424428922BB6E983":"90,000","BBF1A240ACF09477":"London","B5C54F059EE3A9A4DCB95465432A8D14":"Wembley Stadium","984347BABFCA12BE2593CF05C154190C":"FC Bayern Munich,Chelsea F.C.,Paris Saint-Germain FC,Borussia Dortmund,1.FSV Mainz 05,Augsburg(U19),VfB Stuttgart U19","E6554F2C3B7E97A2":"1","63C820864FB855F7":"http:\/\/https:\/\/www.englandfootball.com","09138E45C3AF9F63D172519924158A69":"
